Hi... I'm reluctant to buy into a big storm right now...  IF NO PHASE  between the northern and southern streams, then no big storm.  Many members of the 12z/6 GEFS are running the northern stream short wave out ahead of the southern stream.  That to me is out to sea and snow ice favored NC-Delmarva- s NJ.   The mean trough on the GEFS would allow snow up here but concerned this 5H flow is going to look  different come Friday (less high amplitude N/S- troughing).   For now the EPS is meager, and WPC D6 qpf and winter wx are also meager.  That can change but am thinking conservatively and not planning big up here.  

agree 100 % - I think too many folks are jumping the gun on this one based on 2 runs of a GFS OP and the 12Z Euro a complete miss of the phase and out to sea - need more support for the GFS solution to support a storm scenario......

Other models are jumping on board except for the Euro.

The pattern supports a big storm

Point taken.  I was just going by the official record.  Yes, those pictures don't jive with the official record.

On the other hand the drifting was historic.  One side of the street was swept essentially clean and the other side was buried.  Hard to tell in that picture what was from drifts with then removed snow piled on.  I have a nice book of 1888 somewhere by Judd Caplovich but have not picked it up in decades. 

January 1996 was also undermeasured.

I was in the same location for January 1996 and PD2 and PD2 was 26 inches at JFK, January 1996 was in no way shape or form only 22 inches. And February 1978 was in no way shape or form only 14 inches but that's a different story.

This is a myth.  21" was the maximum snowdepth in NYC during a 3 day storm in 1888; the record shows an entire day of snowfall that added 0.  Also look at snowdepths from elsewhere around the region (not BOS, which got skunked).

Plenty of cool old photos remain if you search for them.

You don't have to take my word for it.  Ask RC, he was there at the postage stamp :D

The Central Park measurer wasn't any good back then either.

Look at the pictures from 1888 and the measurements surrounding Manhattan. Remember there was no snow on the ground when the storm started. 
 

Brooklyn was 36 inches, New Haven 45 inches and the entire HV of SE NY 40-60 inches. That somehow Manhattan measured 21 inches from that storm is a total joke. It's a shame they haven't had that corrected over the years. 

Somehow I see the same mistakes being made if that storm recurred in current times.

its still hanging the energy back in the southwest right ? 


That old EURO bias isn’t a thing anymore. It hasn’t existed in years and it’s handling the northern stream completely different. That’s why it’s flat and OTS run after run @Wxoutlooksblog

No other model is really jumping on board anything close to the GFS. Doesn't necessarily mean the GFS is wrong, just saying. 

The Canadian was pretty close at 12z. But it is hard to bet against the euro even if it “isn’t what it used to be.”
